guest artists

Our guest artists are all local Portland artists whose work we respect and admire. The following is a list of guests artists whose work is on sale at Splurge.

Ann Madland silver jewelry		Ann Madland (by Ann Madland) is a collection of refined style; classically informed cutting edge work embodying urban style and my sculptural aesthetic. Ann is moved and inspired by fine metal, gem stones and life experience.
B-hive Designs baby grows, kids t's, womans t's		Barbara {a.k.a., B.} of B Hive Designs has been making lovely little things since she can remember, from tiny little rainbow notebooks in third grade, to jewelry in high school, and now t-shirts as a mom. She has always had an urge to make things beautiful, and now she can while working at home with her two little boys.
Brenda Dunn postcards, magnets		Brenda Dunn's specialty is vintage inspired pinups that capture the sultry, glamour of the forties and fifties. At Splurge we sell Brenda's pinup postcards. The perfect gift for your guy!
Cretin Art t-shirts		T-shirts with original hand-drawn or painted images from Brian Doogan and friends. Their unique sublimation process for clothing produces amazing quality images that stay vibrant and true to the original artwork.
Cultural Elements acrylic paintings		Since 2001 Michelle has been painting original, mostly acrylic, paintings of all sizes, styles and colors. For her the act of painting is my emotional release. "I'll put my headphones on in the morning, zone into my own world and let it all out."
Frogtown musical book		The picture book with audio CD, "One Night In Frogtown", brings together Portland's multi-faceted music community (classical, jazz, r&b, and hip-hop) to tell a unique story of the value of cultural diversity. Illustrations by Portland artist Verne Lindner and narration by Curtis Salgado.
Full Plate Studios glass plates, coasters		Full Plate Studios specializes in limited edition designs printed with enamels onto glass serving ware, dinnerware, decorative items, and architectural features.
Leah Pellegrini glass mobile's		Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Leah found her love for working with glass while getting her B.A. in Psychology from The University of Pennsylvania. Now she lives in Portland, Oregon teaching classes in torchworking glass and making her glass mobile's and Mobi's (mini mobile's).
Meme Cosmetics cosmetics		From a love and appreciation of natural products Meme created it's own range of cosmetics. No animal testing, artificial preservatives, synthetic chemicals, mineral oil or solvents are used at all.
Milinn Spady glass plates, jewelry, coasters		Vivid glass creations for the body and home, ranging from amazing wall sconces, plates, and cabinet knobs to lovely necklaces, bracelets & earrings.
Molly Muriel soap, candles		Making all natural hand-made soap bars. Scouring thrift stores for glass goblets for her hand poured soy wax candles. These are the things that keep Molly Muriel busy.
Octavine Illustration moleskine journals		Cara Buchalter's (Octavine Illustration) goal is to construct a world of retro images based on the Art Deco form; classic silhouettes of sleek sophistication. All the moleskine journals carry hand-painted original illustrations by Cara herself.
Olander Earthworks plaster & cement faces		Add a little personality to any home or work environment with Olander Earthworks' "Faces". Alone or in group Faces are ideal accent pieces for small spaces, nooks and crannies. A multitude of expressions are available in different colors and materials making each one unique.
Papaver Jewelry bottlecap jewelry		Papaver Jewelry is Maggie Kearns. During her senior year at PNCA, Maggie came to a realization that she didn't really like Illustration but liked small, sparkly, bright things instead. She learned how to fuse glass, and figured out how to decorate bottle caps.
Peri Ponchos kids ponchos		It all began with one hand sewn poncho made for a little girl by her mom. Soon every child in the girl's preschool wanted one and the schoolyard quickly became full of spinning colorful ponchos. That was in 2002. Since then peri has been wrapping Pacific Northwest children in whimsical and warm ponchos.
Red Aphrodite greeting cards		Red Aphrodite's designer and owner, Laura Bolster, has created her dream job. Inspired by photos and vintage images of spirited women, her grandmother's antique lace, and her grandfather's sheet music, Red Aphrodite brings a new, fresh, and unique face to the greeting card world.
Shape Jewelry pendants & earrings		The Shape line of pendants and earrings are made recycled plastics of all sorts. Designed and cut by pals Mike Ross and Renee Christopher they are bold, light, and modern.
Stubborn Works resin jewelry		Melissa Stiles got her degree in architecture, because someone told her she'd never be able to do it. No longer an architect, but still stubborn, she handcrafts jewelry made of stainless steel, aluminum and silver and then fills then with opaque resins.
